Quote:
Don’t trust everything you see, at first glance, even salt looks like sugar.
Story:
Words are like arrows shot from a bow and arrow once they leave the bow, the arrows can never return. Once you let your words proceed out of your mouth you can never grab them back.
Words are powerful especially to children who are so impressionable. We can’t wait for them to walk and talk and then we tell them to sit down and shut up! We tell them they are dumb, clumsy and other statements of incompetence. We can program them with negative programming in the first few years of their lives that will take years of reprogramming for them to be productive in life!
Millions of children go to bed hungry tonight for lack of food and nourishment. Millions more will go to bed hungry tonight for lack of encouragement. Words are powerful and life-changing. Words can build people up to accomplish great things, or tear them down and render them almost useless and helpless.
Scripture:
Proverbs 25:11
A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
